How to Enable Automatic Mail Forwarding in Yahoo?

Yahoo is one of the favorite email clients of internet users, for several known reasons. From features to the interface, Yahoo definitely offers something extraordinary. One such feature is ‘auto-forward’ offered by yahoo mail where it forwards its emails to the address you want. 

For instance, you have a good number of email addresses and don’t get time to check each one of them. This may make you skip some important emails that were of utmost priority. So in order to avoid missing upon important emails, Yahoo lets you forward its emails to any other email client, possibly one that you log into every day.

No Kidding! You can use the Yahoo mail forwarding feature and make your emails more organized. Let’s get into the procedure.
